A few years ago, I discovered that Peter Reichard.... partner in Tryon Venture Capital, LLC.(!) is the biological son of one of the 'influencers' of my Youth, Ram Das, author of BE HERE NOW...... So much for 'Genetics' being a primary influential determinant of Mindfulness........Back to reflections on 'Nature/Nurture'...... If Einstein had abandoned a child by Marilyn Monroe, would it have 'turned out' to be a performance artist that couldn't add up prime numbers, under ten, and have had a toothless smile?

at left, an electron microscope's look at the inner-workings of a living Cell........ at right, a drawing that I made of what I imagined was going on in my brain....54 years ago.......when I was perplexed by having to 'decide' between studying Art or Evolutionary Microbiology..... a 'human' embryo....within the uterus......not so unlike an alligator embryo........the microscopic level is 'where it's all happening'.....and those chemical/genetic recombinings make the Tommorrow Beings.......What one thinks...and does.....alters the chemical structures within our DNA, giving birth, repeatedly, to the New Us........We are not unlike all other organic creatures on Earth.....
